I want to use Monero Gui wallet 0.14.1.0 with remote node. I trying to set daemon address opennode.xmr-tw.org:18089 or node.moneroworld.com:18089. But it always changes to some unknown for me IP addresses...

So why remote node address always changes? Is it safe to use those random daemon IP addresses instead of trusted opennode.xmr-tw.org:18089 or node.moneroworld.com:18089?

In both Simple mode and Simple mode (bootstrap) the GUI will automatically connect to a random remote node. This configuration was preset by developers in order to improve user experience for the less technically inclined. This further means that, in both these modes, users cannot set a custom remote node. Whilst this may change in the future, users currently have to resort to Advanced mode in order to set their custom node. In Advanced mode, you can set the custom node on the Settings page. Switching to a different mode can be done as follows:

  1. Go to the Settings page.

  2. Close the current wallet.

  3. In the wizard, select your desired mode.

  4. Reopen the wallet via the Open a wallet from file option.
